Re: What has Obama done well?

I think it's time for Obama to do a housecleaning. Rahm, Axelrod, Gibbs need to go. They are not up to the job. He should bring in some steadier hands and maybe he can save his presidency. Maybe. We were told that experience and lack thereof didn't count, but it does. In a town like Washington, people who wing it, get eaten for breakfast. He's got majorities that no President has enjoyed since Johnson and he still can't move legislation. That's indicative of staff weakness. That's what de-railed Carter. Reagan got legislation passed with Tip O'Neill running congress. Of course, he had Jim Baker. Obama has Chicago people who are coming from a play to play approach where you just buy off the legislature. In D.C you can buy some but not all of the votes you need. Money is unpersuasive if people are afraid for their political lives. He needs to clean house.
